ésta versión se ve mucho pero mUcHo mejor que la anterior, y me disculparás, pero tus ojos son perfectos para referencia anatómica (simplemente por no decir que son muy lindos :B) pero no, en serio, me encantaría que vivieras a la vuelta de mi departamento para hacer por ahí un par de sesiones de fotos de ojos en mil perspectivas

En la novela de Don Delillo titulada Mao II, Brita tiene que fotografear a Bill, un escritor alienado de las masas que nunca ha
sido fotografiado ni filmado. Mientras lo fotografea, conversan. Bill admite su perturbación al no poder acabar de escribir su novela.
No puede porque no soporta la idea de ser rechazado por las masas. Brita le dice que no haga un fetiche de las cosas simples,
que entregue lo que ha hecho y acepte lo que venga. Bill se pasma, y revela el rostro que siempre esconde.
She watched him surrender his crisp gaze to a softening, a bright-eyed fear that seemed to tunnel out of childhood. It had the starkness of a last prayer. She worked to get at it. His face was drained and slack, coming into flatness, into black and white, cracked lips and flaring brows, age lines that hinge the chin, old bafflements and regrets. She moved in closer and refocused, she shot and shot, and he stood there looking into the lens, soft eyes shining.

me gusta mucho... los ojos y el pelo han salido muy bien... the hand lost a bit of detail, but maybe this is what you wanted... Overall it is a very nice portrait

Bueno una cosa que me encanta a mi de la fotografia b/n son los retratos, les da una personalidad inimaginable, la foto termina hablando por si misma, me gusta mucho la expresion de los ojos, el titulo esta muy bueno.. nice pick

I think i liked the previous one better, for reasons I need not explain I believe, I 've mentioned them before in [link]
However, I can not lie to myself and say that I don't like this one.
Maybe you could do some sort of triptych(or n-ptych) of the same picture with increasing contrasts, or manipulated otherwise. (Or not, you don't need me telling you what to do really...you are doing great as it is)
Aaanyway...
I shut up now.

I remember what you said in silver II, and I wanted to give this kind of feeling in the picture (as it can be read in the title), I really appreciate your opinion as I'm not sure which one I like the best... the n-ptych is a good idea, maybe I'll apply to some other deviations because I don't feel like seeing three "marias" in the same one... and please don't shut up, any advice works for me!

Hi Maria, just thought I'd check out your photos again...Reading comments. I should be in bed sleeping...ARRGh!
But I have to say this contrast is by far better than your original. The other looks basicly washed out and unfinished, or taken by a bad camera. Especially in this case...One thing that may be bothering you with this is the washed out whiteness of the fingers into the check. Which by shooting with a different Fstop or slightly weaker lighting you may have captured some more depth and detail there?? That's jsut me... At work I do a lot of PhotoRetouching, mind you its food and still life for packaging... Anyway I can't get over your good looks

what time was it there?
you're completely right, much better result comes with thinking how you want the 'final photo' at the time of taking the pic... and adjusting light, speed... I'll take that into account next time, your advice is very welcome
aww, and thanks for the other opinion
